Maybe we were too hard on JJ Abrams for "Somehow Palpatine returned."

@jabberworks @GraniteElements It looks fantastic! Beautiful work as always, Sarah!

The news is pitching this election as ‘historic, whoever wins’ because if Kamala wins she’ll be the first female president, and if Donald wins he’ll be the first convicted felon president. I mean. One sounds a bit better than the other, if I’m completely honest.

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@Eric_Heyman Thanks Eric!

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

Thanks everyone who joined me for my event at @TheStoryMuseum this afternoon! So many fantastic dragons were drawn!

@soupgh0st They just clam up when asked.

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@soupgh0st Sounds incredible! I didn't know about Shrimp vision. I wonder what other colours they've been hiding from us!

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@soupgh0st Aww, yeah, it looks like a feast of colours out there!

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@jamiesmart Congrats Jamie, that's fantastic!

The new Bunny Vs Monkey hardback comes out on the same day as the Boris Johnson book. I can GUARANTEE my book is funnier, sillier, and less corrosive to national decency 🫡

Seeing as these ridiculously bad takes keep getting platformed - just going to leave this here I wrote for them:

@BookCornerShop @thebookseller 👏🏼 well said

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@thebookseller This is the worst thing I've ever read on The Bookseller. Did he use chat gpt to write it too?

Surprise surprise, some guy in the AI business thinks people should use it.

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@jamiesmart I loved those books too! Glad to see they're coming back!

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@tearsforfears It's not his work though.

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@tearsforfears You wanted vibrant artwork, but you didn't get art at all. Art requires an artist, and AI isn't one, it's a regurgitation engine which steals from actual artists.
Anyone with an eye for this stuff can see instantly that this image is a fully AI joint. You've been had.

@thesketchsector @SegaWorldLondon I went a few times, must have been when I was 10 or 11 I think? It was so damn cool!

[Zak Simmonds-Hurn @MonstrousComics]

@thesketchsector @SegaWorldLondon God, I miss that place!
